pantene expert collection. >>> just 24 hours after president obama's major announcement on reducing gun violence, the gun control debate is now front and center in washington ready to widen the divide between the democrats and republicans. and the president's proposals include universal background checks, proposing a ban on military style assault weapons, limiting magazines to 10 rounds. as we have been covering, there is this strong, real push back from the right and even certain democrats about this issue. why do you think there's been such a strong and visceral response? >> there is certainly been a strong response from both sides. many gun safety advocates have long brideled about the fact that we haven't been able to do anything. it's been a decade since we have made any progress on this issue. and you have lawmakers that are very beholden to the gun manufacturing industry. but i two think this is the time and i think we're already seeing some of these suburban republicans being affected by what they're hearing from their constitue constituents. they're starting to support gun safe

it tried to defeat president obama in 2012. it spent over $10 million in that effort. it did thought succeed. but it also has cut its contribution significantly in recent years toward the republican party. in the house, it is one of the very tough to get enough republican votes to support some of the legislation which the administration seems likely to push. the assault weapons ban and the limits on high-capacity magazines. i think the latteer may have more of a possibility. there have been some statements from recent days from republicans indicating that there is some openness and a handful of republicans to such a ban. it will be very interesting to see if the nra can twist those arms and block the legislation. i think that is more likely at this stage. i think the popular sentiment for gun control is increasing and it is a time of great flocks, more momentum seems to be now then has existed in a long time for increased gun control measures, tougher gun laws. i think this is a volatile situation with the nra is facing new challenges. it may find it cannot rely on all
